    I guess the real trick is to remove all the bits that don't contribute lift.... Sailplane pilots don't seem to like them because they don't glide in circles very well...which is true from what my amateur reading of the numbers indicates...

    There is potentially a lot of space inside this sort of airframe...you could fit a nice bed in it...

    There is plenty of room for batteries...and surely fly by wire is available to the amateur market...

    I would think if you can keep it under $50k fly away you would have a winner... To my mind the important thing would be to market them successfully to flying schools... At $50k you would be offering 2 aircraft for the price of one twin seater...hire rates per hour $100-$120 would not be a problem...even better if you could include a ballistic shute ...

    I would love to see the Sapphire relaunched...just need to get flying schools online so that students can hire them...buy two single seaters for hour building and general hire for the price of one two seater.

    Then how do they land succesfully?

    I think whoever "Mr Bligh" is his negative and in my opinion stupid comments are very typical of the this industry as a whole. The fact remains...it is 90% certain this chute deployment saved lives and damage... yet he still mumbles some rubbish knocking it!!!???

    Just like a multi 2 stroke? Would be a once in a lifetime trip...

    Perhaps ring around a few boat builders...

    I like the Elf....
  11. winsor68
    I don't believe it happened as reported.

    Do you really think the ex GA pilot would have been flying a Thruster?
  13. winsor68
    The Old Bar accident had "wanna be" GA written all over it...
  14. winsor68
    A "reinvention of GA"...exactly my point...

    That thread proved nothing Turbs. Exactly which part of the problems facing Ra today came about due to rag and tube ultralights and those that fly them...?
  16. winsor68
    It's creative Turbs to claim this has already been shown not to be the case. Sure...there may have been less people involved if Ra had remained as AUF but this "new" GA is not doing anybody any favours regardless of what anybody claims. Someone should have fixed GA rather than hijack AUF. 20 years ago you could buy a proper litttle rag and tube...sure you still can today but the vast majority of pilots involved today are here because they want to fly GA bit can't afford ot.

    It used to be this one.

    Regardless of how well "I" have done under any government...the only mark of a succesful society is how well "WE" do...and I know without any shadow of doubt that a country that puts the needs of the many before the needs of the few is a better place to live...

    Perhaps someone should tell the QPS on the job that... because they have been hassling ALL bikers...
  20. winsor68
    And that is exactly the reasoning the QPS is applying to Bikers...
  21. winsor68
    That's 3 officers out of a few dozen in a Mackay...and that is just the stuff that has come out. It points to a serious sickness if culture and that affects the whole organization.
  22. winsor68
    Probably yes in regards to Police... I get a bit tired of hearing "It will be a different story when you need them"...after the thuggish actions and lack of response I have personally witnessed from the QPS in Mackay over the last 10 years... The above is just the mist recent..combined with 2 offecers charge with raping a local girl on duty and a senior officer costing the tax payers big bucks in compo after wrongfully acting in his duties... There is a big problem here and the response from QPS has been insulting to the local community.

    I took the daughter to Hungry Jacks for dinner the other night...saw a group of "street urchins" practically hold the restaurant hostage while one of them stole a young girls phone...manager tried calling Mackay police as the kids mother was outside trying to retrieve the phone...was told they would be at least half an hour. Mother was still arguing with the QPS answering machine an hour later... Since then every time I have been into town I have been having a serious urge to arm myself because it's quite clear the QPS doesn't respond to crime unless it's biker related.

    In the eye. Qld Coppers wouldn't be available because they are busy arresting innocent people for having the wrong friends or hassling people with tattoos.
